Abstract

The electronic states near the insulator-metal transition of stoichiometric BaCo1-xNixS2 were investigated utilizing the different selection rule for Raman scattering from reflection spectroscopy. The electronic Raman component at low energies is large even in the insulating phase at x = 0. The spectral intensity is preserved from 300 to 20 K in the insulating phase (x≤0.18), whereas in the metallic phase (x≥0.24), the B1g and B2g spectra increase, as temperature decreases. It suggests that the change is induced by the itinerant electronic states through the mass-enhanced-type insulator-metal transition.
